Games publisher Activision Blizzard and non-profit organisation Women in Games International (WIGI) have agreed on a partnership that will see WIGI receive a grant of $1m (~£733,250).
According to the release, the grant will be used to fund professional development and mentorship programmes, aiding the cause of Women in Games International. The grant is also expected to help expand WIGI’s mission of advancing economic equality and diversity in the games industry.
One of the instrumental figures in this cooperation is current WIGI board member and now former Blizzard Entertainment Co-leader Jen Oneal.
